CHzCHzCFa The siloxane copolymers of the invention can be relatively low molecular weight polymers consisting of at least six siloxane units or relatively high molecular weight polymers consisting of up to 2000 siloxane units. The siloxane copolymers with less than six siloxane units do not cure to useable products, and those having more than 2000 siloxane units are not economical to prepare. The most preferred siloxane copolymers contain from 10 to 200 siloxane units.

The siloxane copolymers can be prepared by adding a silane of the formula R. CHFCH(CHg)iS iX where R, X, and a are defined above and e has a value of 0, 1 or 2, to a mixture of a platinum catalyst and silicon hydride polysiloxane of the formula r t l y OMh S'iO Si O R p R z where R, y, z and d are defined above and p has a value such that at least 12 mol percent of the silicon atoms have at least one hydrogen atom bonded to a silicon atom. When e has a value greater than 2, the preparation of the siloxane copolymers is difficult and not economical.

The silanes operable in this procedure are well known in the art and many can 'be obtained commercially. Examples of silanes are CH =CHSiCl CH =CHSi(OCH 0 I ll CHFCHSKO CHM, CH2=CHSi(OC CH2CHs)3 l CHz=CHCHzSi(OCH2O CH3)2, CHz-CHCHzCHgSi 0 C HzC Hz 0 C H3) (CsHs CH3 GH20H2CF3 CHQ CHOHZSl N CH2=CHCHzSiC12 CH2CH3 2 and Cl CHz=CHSi(O CHzCHiO CHZCHQ) 2 The silicon hydride polysiloxanes operable in this procedure can be obtained commercially and are well known in the art. Examples of silicon hydride polysiloxanes are H H H (C H s io) a, (cHacHzs i O) B, (C sHsiOk, (CH SiO)12 H C H H H C H3 CHgSiiO S 10 S iCHa, (CHa)3SiO (S lo S iO Si(CH 1 1 L T. 4n I I CH 20 C 6 and any other combination of siloxane units such as sh H H C H3 (C Hm C rns io, CH3CHzS iO, CaH SiiO, HzSi 0 HSi 0 (C H 31 O H H H2 C HuS i O C F30 HgCHzs i O, CaH C1S:iOo.5, CH3CHgS l 00.5

(CH (C H SiO, (CF CH CH (CH SiO and (CH CH (CH SiO and 11] The platinum catalyst can be in any form which is not basic in nature, such as platinum on charcoal and platinum on alumina. The platinum catalyst should at all times contain as little Water as possible, this is particularly important when a small quantity of silane is used. Any platinum catalyst which is basic will reduce the yield of product and will produce polymers other than those described by this invention.

The mixture of platinum catalyst and silicon hydride polysiloxane is usually preheated to a temperature of to 160 C., preferably 120 to 150 C. before the addition of the silane. These preheating temperatures are not critical. The mixture need not be preheated before the addition of the silane, but because the reaction is usually exothermic and substantially begins at about to C., perheating is advantageous. When small quantities of silane are used, preheating is usually not necessary, but as larger quantities are used preheating becomes very desirable. The reaction is vigorous and the silanes being relatively low boiling can cause the system to build up pressure and/or cause flooding in open systems. The silane is thus usually added at a rate which is inversely proportional to the quantity of silane to be added. The mixture is usually agitated during the addition. After the addition is completed the mixture is raised to a temperature of 200 to 220 C. to insure completion of the reaction and then cooled to room temperature or to some temperature less than 200 C. when the reaction is vacuum stripped.

The entire procedure is best conducted in the absence of moisture. Although this is not an absolute requirement, the yields are higher and the product purer When no moisture is present. Reasonable product yields can be obtained when only a minimum of preventive measures are used to keep the system dry. Also the best results are obtained when the system is blanketed with an inert gas such as nitrogen. Some oxidation can occur at the reaction temperatures although systems in which an inert gas is not used usually have an insignificant amount of oxidation.

The silane and silicon hydride polysiloxane do not require a solvent for carrying out the reaction, but an organic solvent can be used. When the silicon hydride polysiloxane is of a high molecular weight, a solvent solution of the' silicon hydride polysiloxane and/or silane is particularly advantageous as the viscosity of the system will be reduced and handling properties are improved. The organic solvent should be essentially waterfree, should not contain reactive groups such as hydroxyl radicals, and should permit the temperature of reaction to be reached. The higher temperatures can be reached either with higher boiling solvents or by using pressure.

Examples of some operable organic solvents are toluene, xylene, naphtha, organic esters such as butyl acetate, 2-ethylhexyl acetate, acetate of ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, acetate of ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, and organic ketones such as methylethyl ketone and methylhexyl ketone.

After the reaction mixture has cooled to room temperature, any remaining unreacted silanes and/ or solvent can be removed by heat and vacuum stripping. The catalyst can be removed by filtering.

The siloxane copolymers of this invention have excellent shelf stabilities. Whereas, other reactive siloxanes gradually change in properties over a period of time these siloxane copolymers retain their properties such as viscosity whether they are stored with or without solvent, as long as the container is sealed against outside moisture. When removed from a sealed container, they will cure to useable products.

The siloxane copolymers can be made of varying viscosities and can be used with or without solvents. These siloxanes can also be made into stable emulsions.

An outstanding feature of these siloxane copolymers is that they can be used as a one-component water repellent. These siloxane copolymers are superior water repellents for fabrics and can be applied to fabrics from an organic solvent solution, an aqueous emulsion, a consumer aerosol package or a dry cleaning medium. All of these methods of application provide fabrics with good water repellency without the use of any curing catalyst and at room temperature. The water repellency produced on the fabric is durable and can 'withstand several washings. The water repellency and durability can be even further enhanced by either heat-curing the fabric after application or by using a curing catalyst. A curing catalyst is particularly advantageous when the siloxane copolymers are used in a dry cleaning medium.

The siloxane copolymers used as a water repellent can be applied from a solvent solution using such solvents as toluene, pcrchloroethylene, hexane, acetone, isopropanol, ethanol and methanol. The fabric to be made water repellent can be dipped in the solvent solution of the siloxane copolymer, the solvent solution of the siloxane copolymer can be brushed on the fabric or applied in any other conventional manner. The amount of pickup of siloxane copolymer is preferably from 1 to 10 weight percent, with from 1 to 3 weight percent being a more commercially desirable range.

The siloxane copolymer can be applied to fabrics to provide water repellency from aqueous emulsion. The emulsions can be prepared in any conventional manner using nonionic, anionic or cationic surfactants. The nonionic surfactants are preferred. The most preferred surfactants are the reaction product of ethylene oxide and acetylenic glycol, known as Surfynol 465, made by Air Reduction Chemical Company, and trimethylnonylpolyethylene glycol ether, known as Tergitol TMN-6. The emulsion can be prepared to contain a wide concentration of siloxane copolymer. The most preferred concentration is from 5 to 40 weight percent siloxane copolymer. The emulsion can be applied to the fabric in any conventional manner. The fabric can be immersed in an emulsion, removed and dried. The water repellency is usually good when the amount of siloxane copolymer pickup by the fabric is from 0.5 to weight percent with from 0.5 to 3 weight percent being a more commercially desirable range.

The siloxane copolymer can be applied on fabrics to provide water repellency by spraying from aerosol packages. The siloxane copolymer can be put into any conventional type of aerosol package which is substantially free from water. The siloxane copolymer can be in any suitable organic solvent usually used with aerosol sprays such as chlorothene or perchloroethylene. Conventional spray propellants, such as dichlorodifluoromethane, can be used. The amount of siloxane copolymer in the solvent solution is preferably from 1 to 20 weight percent. A spray of from 2 to 60 seconds on an area of 0.2 to 0.6 square foot provides a fabric with good water repellency.

Usually only from 2 to 30 seconds is sufficient to get maximum protection.

The siloxane copolymers can be applied to fabrics with any conventional commercial dry cleaning medium. The siloxane copolymers of this invention are added to the conventional cleaning bath and this solution both cleans and treats the fabric making it water repellent. The commerical dry cleaning fluids and soaps can be used. The amount of siloxane copolymers used in the dry cleaning medium can be from 1 to 25 weight percent based on the total cleaning medium.

The siloxane copolymers are useful in making fabrics water repellent, such as cotton, sateen, viscose, glass, nylon, Dacron, acetate, arnel, cellulose triacetate, polyacrylonitrile (Orlon), synthetic polyesters of terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol; copolymers of acrylonitrile and vinylidene chloride (Dynel); copolymers of vinylchloride and vinylidene chloride; copolymers of vinylacetate and vinylchloride, wool and linen.

The siloxane copolymers are also useful as water repellents for paper, glass, wood, leather, masonry products and other substrates.

The most preferred siloxane copolymers which are useful for water repellents are siloxane copolymers of the general formula R' R' 2) liSiXB-filx (CH2) hS iXa-s R R H-,-S iOo.5 (sio) S iO S lo l ia -y d 1 1 111 I I 11 I i. 1

wherein R, R X, a, b, x, y and d are defined above; In has a value such that at least 2 mol percent of the silicon atoms have at least one (CH ,SiR,,X radical and not more than 35 mol percent of the silicon atoms have at least one (CH SiR,,X radical; n has a value such that at least 32.5 mol percent of the silicon atoms have at least one hydrogen atom bonded to a silicon atom and not more than 98 mol percent of the silicon atoms have at least one hydrogen atom bonded to a silicon atom; 2 has an average value of from 0 to a maximum value which is not more than the value of n; and the sum of m-l-n-I-z is from 6 to 2000.

The siloxane copolymers are particularly useful for water repellents when the mol percent of the siloxane units having (CH SiR,,X radicals is from 2 to 35 mol percent, and when the number of R SiO units does not exceed more than one-half the total number of R SiO units and i RSiO units in the composition. The number of R SiO units is not more than the number of RSiO units, thus, z cannot exceed n. The sum of n+z must'be such that it does not exceed 98 mol percent based on the total number of moles of siloxane units. These siloxane copolymers are particularly useful for fabrics and have commercially acceptable water repellency values.

The most preferred siloxane copolymers are those where R is methyl, R is methyl, b is 2, a is or 1, and the sum of m+n+z is from 10 to 200. The best water repellency properties are obtained when n has a value such that at least mol percent of the silicon atoms have at least one -(CH ,SiR X radical and not more than 20 mol percent of the silicon atoms have at least one -(CI-I SiR,,X radical.

Although these siloxane copolymers have excellent water repellent properties, particularly some of the above preferred species, these siloxane copolymers have wide utility. These siloxanes can be used for fabric softeners and lubricants, paper release coatings, for adhesives, particularly those with high amounts of hydrolyzable group, for elastomeric products, resinous products and room temperature curing compositions.

Although these siloxane copolymers can be cured to durable films by curing at room temperature without a catalyst, catalyst and heat can be used for curing and under some conditions it can be advantageous. Fabrics which have been treated with siloxane copolymers of this invention can be cured by conventional ironing or pressing, particularly those which are treated by the dry cleaning process. Curing catalyst which can be used are, for example, amines such as primary amines, secondary amines, tertiary amines and aminoorganosilicon compounds. Organic amines are well known in the art and can be obtained commercially. Examples of aminoorganosilicon compounds are such as The curing catalysts are preferably metal carboxylates, organic esters of titanium and zirconium, and alkyl tin carboxylates. Examples of metal carboxylates are cadmium octoate, cadmium acetate, zinc octoate, potassium acetate, lead stearate, cobalt octoate, cobalt naphthenate, magnesium octoate, lead octoate, magnesium naphthenate and lead hexoate. Examples of organic esters of titanium and zirconium are tetraethyl titanate, tertraisopropyl titanate, tetraisopropyl, zirconate, tetraoctyl titanate, tetraoctadecyl zirconate, octylene glycol titanate, glycerol zirconate, triethanolarnine titanate, titanium lactate and zirconium lactate.

Examples of the alkyl-tin-carboxylates are diethyl-tindiacetate, tributyl-tin-propionate, dibutyl-tin-dilactate, butyl-tin-trioctoate, octadecyl-tin-diacetate, trimethyl-tinstearate, dibutyl-tin-dibenzoate, and dibutyl-tin-diacetate.

The catalyst can be used in amounts normally used in curing hydrolyzable systems such as from 0.01 to.20 weight percent of the total weight of the siloxane copolymer.

The siloxane copolymers can be cured by heating either with or without catalyst. The temperatures can be from room temperature to 260C. When heating is used it is preferred to heat at above 30 C. and preferably above 40 C. Heating the siloxane copolymers often shortens the curing time although better results can in some cases, be obtained by curing at room conditions.

The following examples are illustrative only and should not be construed as limiting the invention which is properly delineated in the appended claims.

Example 1 A mixture of 60.0 g. of a trimethylsilyl-endblocked methylhydrogenpolysiloxane having a viscosity of 32.9 cs. at 25 C. and 0.2 g. of 1.0 weight percent platinum on charcoal was mixed in a reaction flask equipped with an agitator, a dropping funnel and a reflux condenser which is fitted with a drying tube and was preheated to '120" C. when the mixture reached a temperature of 120 C., 14.8 g. of CH =CHSi(OCH was added from the dropping funnel at a rate of 5 g. per minute. The temperature was maintained between 120 and 140 C. during the addition. After the addition of the silane the temperature was raised to 210 C. before cooling to 82 C. Any unreacted silane was removed by vacuum stripping at 82 C. and 1 mm. of Hg. The stripped product was vacuum filtered through a bed of exceptionally pure diatomaceous silica, known as Super-Cel made by Celite, providing 59.6 g. of product, which was a trimethylsilylendblocked siloxane copolymer having about 10 mol per cent of the units of the unit formula and 90 mol percent of the units of the unit formula osiom The product was soluble in toluene, acetone, hexane and isopropanol.

An emulsion was made from the above product by dissolving 20 g. of product in 20 g. of toluene and then slowly adding to this solution 40 ml. of an aqueous solution of 2 weight percent of trimethylnonylpolyethylene glycol ether, Tergitol TMN-6 and 2 weight percent of an anionic surfactant having 30-35 weight percent active ingredient and a pH of 8.6, while the solution was being mixed with a high speed homogenizer.

To 12 g. of the above emulsion, 185 ml. of water was added. This emulsion was then applied to x 80 cotton print fabric by dipping and padding. The treated cotton fabric was then conditioned for 24 hours at 65% relative humidity at 21 C. After the conditioning the cotton fabric was spray rated by using the spray test as described in ASTM D-583-58, or the spray test of AATCC Standard Test Method 22-1961. The treated cotton fabric had a spray rating of 50 after 24 hours of conditioning. After an air cure of four days at room conditions, the spray rating increased to 70 and after 16 days of air cure at room conditions, the spray rating increased to 90. A spray rating of 80 to was obtained when the treated and conditioned cotton fabric was cured by heating for 3 minutes at 176 C.

A solvent solution of the above product was made by dissolving 3.5 g. of the above siloxane copolymer in 120 ml of perchloroethylene. This solution was applied to 80 x 80 cotton print fabric by dipping and padding. The treated fabric was conditioned as described above. After the conditioning the fabric had a spray rating of 80. After 4 days of air curing at room conditions the fabric had a spray rating of 90 to 100, and after 16 days of air curing the fabric had a spray rating of 100. After a 3 minute cur ing at 176 C. the treated and conditioned cotton fabric had a spray rating of 100. r

Adding 0.7 g. of dibutyl-tin-diacetate to the above solution gave a spray rating of after curing a treated and conditioned 80 x 80 cotton print fabric for 3 minutes at 176 C.
